Impress your guests! This restaurant packs a great "wow" factor for out-of-towners or is a great dinner spot before a show at the Kauffman Center. Bonus - if you eat at Webster House, you can park in their lot for free if seeing an event! We consider Webster House to be in our top 5 restaurants in the Kansas City metro.
An old school building (and being teachers, you know we're already in love), remodeled and reinvented as an antique store on the ground level and a restaurant on the second floor. Old classrooms with original wood paneling, a dark-stained bar in the library, and decorated with art and antiques available for purchase, creates a nice ambiance full and rich in history. Depending upon which room you sit in, you can view downtown KC with Power & Light and Kauffman Center, or you can view the WW1 memorial and crossroads district. Both views are outstanding glimpses of the Kansas City area and serve as a reminder of why KC is so great!
Service has been consistent to outstanding, which is nice. Very friendly staff takes care of you and makes sure you enjoy your experience as a whole. We've not had a terrible service experience, which is another reason why it's at the top of our list!
But, let's talk food. The menu varies by season, and focuses on farm-to-table as much as possible. I honestly don't think we've had anything bad here. Appetizers are large enough to share between two people, and have a southern flare to them - try the shrimp & grits, fried green tomatoes, or our personal favorite the trio of spreads. We have tried other salads here, but keep returning to the Roasted Poblano Caesar (and we recommend splitting it) - it fills the plate and is the best, clearly homemade dressing with such a great kick to it! For entrees, I'm a steak type of guy, and they have one of the best filets in the KC area - perfectly cooked, well seasoned and crusted, it is quite outstanding. Paul, on the other hand, likes to vary his options and has probably tried most of the menu by now. The cioppino, scallops, salmon, and short ribs have been fairly consistent for him (and he's loved whatever he's ordered). He's a bit more adventurous than I am ... I stick with what I know is absolutely divine. Desserts are delectable and dangerously portioned - again, we recommend sharing. But if something catches your eye for dessert, you won't be disappointed - that's for sure!
So, if you haven't guessed, we highly recommend Webster House for a fine dining KC experience.
